In my Whitman albums where the year is blank, my late Father, who passed in 1998 had written the years, so that is precious to me.
Well done to the previous collector who put together all those mostly uncirculated coins
Yes, and we'll never know who it was 😥 Thanks for watching
My dad used to work on the gas board emptying meters. In the 1970s he used to come home every evening with a huge bad of shillings and florins then sort through them fishing out all the pre 1947s and swapping them for newer coins. We still have a whole stack of them. With the amount of silver they contain they should be work a few quid now.
So satisfying to see a complete set like that! Thanks for sharing your experience, Paul!
Yes, I was very happy with tha. Thanks for watching Andrew 👍
They have been in a wardrobe in that bag for the last 40 years .Great find.
Yes, they could have been. Thanks for watching Ian 👍
@@CoinPatrol I have a small collection of coins including a 1889 shilling a 1910 shilling and a 1970 shilling .I believe this is from a proof set.They are just stuck in the wardrobe now .
I'm aging myself but I remember using a sixpence in the late 70s at the school tuckshop
I'm 73. I remember using farthings. You could get 1 aniseed ball or 1 salad fruit or 1 black jack for a farthing. 1 single ciggie for my grandma for a penny happeny.
What a fabulous find, amazing price, and a complete set! What are the odds ??? 😮. Great upload thanks CP
Hi Darren. Yes, I was really pleased with that lot. Thanks for watching 👍
the king George coins look good given their age i wonder if this was a kids collection as the dates and condition are all over the place
Even the staples were better in the good old days !
a wonderful set of coins there Paul.
and to think it was only as recently as 1990 that we were able to use those coins to buy a portion of chips.
and other stuff.
Thanks for watching David. Yes, I meant to mention in the video that these shillings were circulating as 5p's up untill 1990.
Then I forgot to include it. 👍
What a great find.!!
Nice to see that 1964s exist. I am still trying to find both English and Scottish varieties.. Funnily enough I have Several of the Scottish 59 and 61 varieties..
You did well there Paul, on the 1919 shilling they also omitted K.G. initials, do you know why? I noticed the Queen's head on the obverse was not as strongly struck as the reverse striking's, this was also a problem on the South Africa union £. s. d. series I wonder who made the obverse dies for both mints?
My view of gloves, if they're uncirculated, maybe, but noone was wearing gloves when they were in circulation.
A lovely selection of coins! A wonderful find from the charity shop.
Yes, it was a get buy. Thanks for watching 👍
You got a bargain there Paul.
A really nice set of shillings.I wish that I could find your coins in that condition here in the 🇺🇲. Thanks for posting the video.
Thanks for watching Kevin 👍
Definitely worth a fiver that bag is
Yes, I was very happy with that Thanks for watching 👍
I don’t mind the lack of gloves at all…but the surfaces of most of those coins were in amazing condition, hardly knocked about at all. Even the older ones. Every time you threw them into your hand or scraped them together I winced at the noises 😂 . And even without gloves, surely at least touch just the edges so as to minimise any future damage from the sweat and oils from your skin?
Beautiful set of coins. I’ve got a whole jar of shillings that I collected as an ignorant teenager years back.
Thanks... I enjoyed that! This video will make me pay better attention to this series of coins when I find an example while metal detecting!
Cheers Vossie, thanks for watching 👍
What super coins!! A total bargain!! Cheers from Australia
Yes, I was very happy with these. Thanks for watching Jason 👍
As a 1954 edition. That Shilling looks good, If I were sold on Ebay I doubt that I'd reach the list price 😢😅😅😅
Lol, I'm sure you would Geoff. Thanks for watching 👍
fantastic set and a great find that could of been sitting in the shop for ever 👍🤘
Yes, I really pleased I found these Steve 👍
Right place, right time
What a fantastic little collection. I know you said the George VI coins were not in as good condition as the QEII coins but they were still in pretty good nick as far as I could see.
Yes, the George VI ones are above average condition.
I suppose I was hoping for too much. Thanks for watching John 👍
You got a bargain on these lovely shillings 😊they are in great condition 👍
Yes, I was happy with that lot, cheers John 👍
Incredible quality coins, what a great find, that's really a bargain! well done.
I was very happy. Thanks for watching Francisco 👍
I would indeed keep the staples
Brilliant. loved this. Thanks Paul, and Sue obviously.
Cheers Stephen. Thanks for watching 👍
Thanks for the video, where can I but the coin sleeves like you are using?
What a nice collection. Thanks for sharing
Cheers Tom. Thanks for watching 👍
Nice find 🤗🥰👍
Cheers Karen, thanks for watching 👍
Fantastic charity shop purchase 😊 a nicely filled up Whitman and then some fillers for the sheet.
Great stuff 👍🏻
Yes, I was very lucky there Andy Thanks for watching 👍
I remember dad having ajar of sixpence in about 1978. I thought they were out of circulation then. Had I known I’d have taken them to by sweets😂
Wow - what a lovely (and lucky!) find. nice video. Thanks Paul
You're right I was very lucky. Thanks for watching 👍
I started collecting coins in my fathers shop 1960 the silver ones 1920 and before
after that they were half silver, O and i found a 1952 6 pence was worth £32 dont know now.
I never knew the value of these. Brilliant 🎉
Thanks for watching 2Cap 👍
Awesome can't believe what great shape those were in I'm going to go to the coin shop tomorrow and get some British coins🏞
Yes, I was very happy with that lot. Thanks for watching 👍
I'd Dremel those staples back to new...i know I'm a little sad...
That’s a new one on me. I feel the stirrings of an obsession.🤓
The sweat on your fingers will damage the surface finish if you do not wear gloves.
This was fun to watch!
Thanks George 👍
I had those books that I put my coins in. The acid in the paper eventually corroded the pennies and nickels. Hopefully the ones in the UK are different. EDIT: I see yours were made in Racine, Wisconsin.
They don't make staples like they used to!
Very nice bag of coins, especially for such a low price!
Yes, I was happy with that lot. Thanks for watching Leon 👍
Some of the British Whitman folders are getting tough to get. I'm having a hard time finding an empty 1860 to 1880 Penny book for my set.
Yes, I've noticed the older folders are becoming scarce. When they do come up for sale they tend to be quite pricey.
@@CoinPatrol I may have found one, but in case that one falls through keep an eye open for me and let me know. I don't always check the Ebay UK site as I'm across the pond here.
8:10 Dick Van Dyke is a genius. AI refuses to talk about him because his name means two vulger things in America.
Good work😍
Another great video and a lovely set to find
Thanks for watching Derrick. Yes, I was very pleased with that lot. 👍
Hi Paul.
I have a fair few shillings and am looking for some advice what to do with them
Would you be able to advise please
Paul
😊😊😊😊😊
Of course it was worth it, you helped a charity shop.
They are in very good condition, got my Magnet so funny the warning paper. I now have my 1st £2 Coin which is not bad out of 50 of them. I am going to make a controversial post, got to clear my desk and get camera set up. Love the Magnet have you tried getting something smaller the the thing itself?
I'll look out for you video Julian. Thanks for watching 👍
I never saw a sixpence in use after about 1972/73 just *never* and shillings were treated identically to 5p pieces :)
Great vid, great info and a great bargain.
Yes, I was very happy with these. Thanks for watching Paul 👍
Very nice purchase Paul!! 😃👍
Cheers, Alrik. I was happy with this buy. Thanks for watching 👍
Excellent video. Really enjoyed that one
Cheers Blake, thanks for watching 👍
Definitely worth it
I want to sell my coin collection. - how do I go about selling them. ??
Bargin of the century there Paul!--- Does anyone know why the 1976 was deemed NIFC? and in practice did that mean anything different to the Proofs of 1972-, 1973 and 1974?
I was hoping someone would explain in the comments what NIFC means?
Hi Ian. Proof coins are struck using hand-finishe dies and is the highest quality of coin a mint produces, made specially for coin collectors.
A NIFC (Not Intended For Circulation) is a normal coin, but in 1976 it was only minted for coin year sets.
@@peterperigoe9231 NIFC means Not Intended For Circulation. For example in 1976 the 5p was only minted for coin year sets and not for circulation.
Why is there a dot after the 7 in the date at 8.59 ?
I don't know what the significance of the dot is, but it' appears on every 1947 Scottish Shilling.
Nice
Cheers Geoff 👍
Hello Coin Patrol. Ive recently been inspired by your 'do you have a rare [date] penny' series and would like to do a version of these videos for my tiktok account. I was wondering if I could make these videos with your permission and give credit to you in the videos?
Hi LAD 100, yes, go for it 👍
nice set of coins.
Cheers Joel, yes, I was very happy with that lot. Thanks for watching 👍
when will u be doing another penny hunt its been a while now since u did the lase one i miss ur hunt cos it fasanates me watching ur hunts of old pennies
Hi Wayne. I'm having problems getting pennies from my usual supplier, but I have managed to get a batch from elsewhere. I will be making the video in the next couple of days.
Hi Paul didn’t you do well. When I ask in the charity shops if they have any coins ,they say sorry but we have not long sold them.Just my luck,but I still keep trying. From J.R S.
Keep asking them John. I'm sure you'll get some luck soon 👍
What charity shop sell bags of shillings? I need some cheap for an old fruit machine and i cant find none anywhere!.
Worth it or not id buy the crap outta stuff like this.
🍺👍🏻
It’s a toss up watching paint dry, watching grass grow, watching this video , mmmmmmmmmmmm not sure which to make No.1 ………
I hope you watched it all the way through and made me some cash 🤣🤣
I'm finding it hilarious that this comment comes from someone that is obsessed with handmade Leather briefcases and cuckoo clocks 😀😀😀
Not English but uk
Clearly you return the bag so they can look at you just as blankly as when you asked the price.
Which charity shop was this?
A quick note on what an uncirculated coin is; it's one without any wear - but can have minor scratches and other things of that nature. If you look at a coin from many angles under strong light and don't see any flat, lusterless spots, it's UNC. if you do, it's likely AU.
Uncirculated also means not touched by human hands.
Lol, of course it doesn't 🤣🤣🤣
Thats true real steel wire ...
Very nice 👍⚓️🧲
You can always send them to Brian May
Brian plucks with sixpences not shillings 🎸
Erm, shouldn’t the monarch at the heading of the first page read Elisabeth ll instead of l ?
It should. Well spotted. I hadn't noticed that 👍
Nice find. You've well got your fiver back
Yes, I was happy with that lot Donna. Thanks for watching 👍
Did he say the last shillings were minted in 1966?
Yes, last minted for circulation in 1966
These would be useful if you are a time traveler.
You don't use gloves to hold a coin, you hold it by the edges, it's then fingerprint (and other contaminants) free.
Wondered why there's none dated 1967?
The last shillings were mimted in 1966 Danny. I've no idea why they didnt go on until 1967. Maybe they had enough in circulation 👍
And yet the coin you show at the start says 1967?
Thanks for the video Paul 👍
Cheers Sue. I was happy with that lot. Thanks for watching 👍
The Scottage 59 paid for them all
Yep. I was very pleased with that lot Ian 👍
Hi Paul, you did well finding these and for £5, whenever I ask it's always "no we haven't got any" or "they get taken to the bank". I did get lucky with some world coins in Luton not that long ago, but considering how many was there and what I paid for them i would of been better off just getting a KG but it was for a worthy charity.
Keep asking Ian, I'm sure you'll get lucky soon. Thnks for watching 👍
Hi my father in law has got one shilling coins and two shilling coins and more coins from Victoria to England and America and Canada and Jamaica coins and New Zealand coins he is selling is collection now
Great show mate, enjoyed it
Cheers Alen. I was very pleased with that lot 👍
Bob-a-Job's a good'un 😁 Great condition on those coins, and a steal at the price you paid for them. I get the same knock back answers when I ask about coins in Charity shops. Haven't managed to get a single coin, Uk or World, from any of those establishments yet. Sometimes banks have a few in their safes that they will accumulate, and then send en masse as "garbled coin" once a year back to the Bank of England, who then I suppose send them back to the Royal Mint for melting down. 🧲
I always ask charity shops if they have any coins. Last year one had an old album with Victorian coins in it and a couple of nice George III pennies. They said they couldn't sell it to me though because the boss wasn't there and they had no idea what to charge me. They said she'll be in tomorrow. I went back the next day, the boss was there but they couldn't find the coins! Very odd!
I must have asked in over 100 shops over the years and these shilling were the only time I was lucky. 👍
@@CoinPatrol Boss probably pocketed them!
Well done Paul. One of the best fivers ever spent! 🪙
Yes, I was happy with that lot. Thanks for watching 👍
Very nice 👍⚓️🧲
